Churchill's Dry Aperitif White Port

Hints of raisins. Off-dry, rich palate with nutty flavours and a long, fruity finish. Serve chilled.

Johnny Graham arrived in Oporto in 1973 and got a job as a trainee with Cockburn’s. He then moved to work as a consultant for Taylor’s while starting his own company. In the meantime, local Port farmers had learned that he wanted to set up on his own and were keen to help. Clearly the wine could not be called Grahams’ – the family business had been sold in 1970 – so what better name than his wife’s maiden name Churchill. Situated at 1,200 feet above sea level, the vineyards in the Pinhão valley are perfectly suited for the “Malvasia Fina” white port grape, providing it with all the necessary acidity and balance. This is a White Port that makes a statement. Full flavoured with a dry nutty finish, its naturally rich, golden colour is the result of 10 years ageing in wood. The extent of extra ageing gives the white port a balance and smoothness which puts it firmly in a class of its own.
